My kid was all about that packaged bread today lol

[–] Ofiuco@lemmy.cafe 16 points 2 hours ago

I feel called out... Bless my grandma and my mom for giving me a chance to taste things during family dinners but having a backup because they knew I wouldn't like anything.

What about duck, roasted for an hour and served with a nice side of gravy.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 hour ago

Takes about 2 hours for a duck roast.

Source: will be roasting duck imminently

You should cook it to an internal temperature of 165f or 74c instead of a set time...sorry, the Internet has ruined me. I'm so alone.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

Ideal temperature for killing bacteria is more of a spectrum than a hard set number. 165°F is the USDA recommendation because it's idiot-proof. Guarantees that all bacteria will be instantly killed.

But if you pull the bird at 165°F, you've already overcooked the meat and dried out all the juices. Personally I take my poultry out at 150°F, let it sit and naturally rise to 155-157°, and so long as it stays at or above 155 for more than 90 seconds, it's perfectly safe to eat. The number is more like 45 seconds IIRC but I double it just to be safe. Been doing it this way for over a decade and it's never gotten anyone sick.

My ham has been in the oven for 2 hours and the core temperature is only 70... I don't think it will be ready when "dinner" starts in an hour and a half...

To be fair, this is the first time I've cooked holiday food in my own oven in my own residence... I've never cooked a ham this big before.

Just use the replicator, Miles.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

And offend me dear old ma? She never believed in using replicators.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

Miles, Molly is hungry.

TL;DR A pre-cooked 10-pound ham, bone-in will need about 2 1/2 hours.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

At this point I'm just going to assume the core was still slightly frozen or close to it when I put it in. I left it to thaw for several days in the refrigerator...

Ah well, a learning experience for next year.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago* (last edited 32 minutes ago)

You live and you learn!

Maybe practice with a ham during the year to figure cook times out :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Usually the hams you get at the store are already cooked (check to be sure) and you just want it hot. That should give you a little wiggle room there! Whereas a pulled pork or something needs to be brought up to temperature to be technically edible, then held at that temperature for a while so it can be delicious

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 3 points 1 hour ago

It is precooked, and it's made it up to 120! 25 more to go and it'll be ready to serve, and food got pushed back anyway, so there's still hope.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Agreed, which is why I bought a digital thermometer and prob my bird multiple times in different locations and depths to make absolutely sure of this.

Turkey takes hours depending on the size and weight. Chicken is a bit less.

Ducks are usually about five or six pounds and very fatty which means they cook a bit faster than most other birds. I don't normally roast them myself, I cut them into chunks and make a duck soup or stew.

..... and a critical skill for any would be Thanksgiving chef out there .... LEARN TO MAKE TASTY SAVOURY GRAVY! It doesn't matter how well you cook your turkey, chicken or duck, if you don't make a good gravy with it, it won't be fun for anyone.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 19 minutes ago (1 children)

I just watched Babish (dude in YouTube) make a browned-butter roux. What a game changer for gravy.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 minutes ago

Do you have a link to the video? or at least a description so that we can find it? I'm always on the lookout for new ways to make gravy ... to me it's the key to any big feast.

Why the vegetarian thanksgiving?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

People who don't eat meat uh, exist.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space -5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (3 children)

So do elephants but there is none depicted.

How does it fit into the plot of the comic?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

The comic about talking ducks?

Does everything have to fit the stereotypes and norms of society for you unless there's a good reason? Maybe the author is vegetarian? Who knows and more importantly, who cares?

It's a world of diverse life experiences out there.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space -4 points 54 minutes ago

You people are extremely defensive.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 4 points 55 minutes ago* (last edited 55 minutes ago) (1 children)

It might be an anecdote by the author. And it's not like it stands out as a weird enough thing that it has to be relevant to the plot.

Also their cousin is probably a turkey or something.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 0 points 50 minutes ago

Yeah I was thinking cousin turkey too. But ham?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 points 32 minutes ago

How does it take away from it?

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 3 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)
[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 0 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

Ducks are not vegetarians. They eat snails, frogs, fish, worms, crayfish etc

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 33 minutes ago

They also can't talk. Unrealistic comic smh
